Things have been cooking in Playfish's Facebook game, Restaurant City, where players start out with a small establishment and build it up by hiring cooks and a waitstaff, then making money which can be used to upgrade the menu and deck out the restaurant.

The folks behind the scenes recently held a 'dream menu' competition: asking fans to send in new menu dishes (using ingredients already available in the game). The winners get their dish included in the game and 100,000 worth of virtual coins for Restaurant City. Not too shabby, especially since coin doesn't come easy in this game.

Hungry yet? Our stomachs have certainly started rumbling. Look for these delish dishes in Restaurant City in the coming weeks. If you want to see what the runners-up cooked up for the contest, visit the official Playfish blog to see more community creativity at work.
